Lesson 8 NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM M1 GEOMETRY Lesson 8: Solve for Unknown Angles—Angles in a Triangle Student Outcome ο§ Students review formerly learned geometry facts and practice citing the geometric justifications regarding angles in a triangle in anticipation of unknown angle proofs. Lesson Notes In Lesson 8, the unknown angle problems expand to include angles in triangles. Knowing how to solve for unknown angles involving lines and angles at a point, angles involving transversals, and angles in triangles, students are prepared to solve unknown angles in a variety of diagrams. Check the justifications students provide in their answers. The next three lessons on unknown angle proofs depend even more on these justifications. Classwork Opening Exercise (5 minutes) Review the Problem Set from Lesson 7; students also attempt a review question from Lesson 7 below. Opening Exercise Find the measure of angle π in the figure to the right. Explain your calculations. (Hint: Draw an auxiliary line segment.) MP.7 π∠π = ππ° The angle with the measure of ππ° can be divided two angles. One measures ππ° (corresponding angles). Then the other angle has a measure of ππ° (partition property). Discussion (5 minutes) Review facts about angles in a triangle. Discussion The sum of the π angle measures of any triangle is πππ° . INTERIOR OF A TRIANGLE: A point lies in the interior of a triangle if it lies in the interior of each of the angles of the triangle. In any triangle, the measure of the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of the These are sometimes also known as remote interior angles. Base angles of an isosceles opposite interior angles. triangle are equal in measure. Each angle of an equilateral triangle has a measure equal to ππ°.

Lesson 8 NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM M1 GEOMETRY Relevant Vocabulary (2 minutes) Relevant Vocabulary ISOSCELES TRIANGLE: An isosceles triangle is a triangle with at least two sides of equal length. ANGLES OF A TRIANGLE: Every triangle β³ π¨π©πͺ determines three angles, namely, ∠π©π¨πͺ, ∠π¨π©πͺ, and ∠π¨πͺπ©. These are called the angles of β³ π¨π©πͺ. β‘ such that π© is EXTERIOR ANGLE OF A TRIANGLE: Let ∠π¨π©πͺ be an interior angle of a triangle β³ π¨π©πͺ, and let π« be a point on π¨π© between π¨ and π«. Then ∠πͺπ©π« is an exterior angle of the triangle β³ π¨π©πͺ. Use a diagram to remind students that an exterior angle of a triangle forms a linear pair with an adjacent interior angle of the triangle. Exercises 1–11 (28 minutes) Students try an example based on the Discussion and review as a whole class. Exercises 1–11 1. Find the measures of angles π and π in the figure to the right.
